I imagine a lot of people will wonder why I put a CW on the discussion of gunshots given I've played a lot of games which include guns and plentiful amounts of dakka. I don't want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is a conversation where "Are they throwing rocks against the wall?" became a line that has been etched into my brain for more than 20 years now. It was just the juxtaposition of the casual conversation with the ambient noises, and suddenly I'm remembering the event in question.


I edited out myself given a run down after I stopped, but yeah. I imagine most people would just pass that discussion no problem, maybe even get some black humor about it. And as it persisted into a short running joke, it became less pronounced and I didn't really have the dissociative event thing you see on TV. I just felt profoundly uncomfortable and, to be honest, guilty, even though I was only a witness to the situation.


This hasn't triggered for me very often, the other two incidents the past through years were a scene from an RPG youtube video and another bit in a video game stream for a turn-based game that had three shots go off in just the right cadence. It's a weird sensation and once I think about it, it just sort of lingers for a while.
